About

Portrait of Nick Goard

Creative Director | Head of Brand | VP Marketing | Founder, Revolver Studios Inc.

Brand strategy, creative leadership, and the organizational infrastructure to make both work. I've led marketing functions at every level: Creative Director, Design Director, VP, and Head of Brand – building integrated campaigns from pitch to production, developing brand architecture from zero, and structuring the creative systems that hold teams together at scale.

Fifteen plus years across agencies and in-house roles spanning startups to growth-stage companies, leading teams of 20+ and owning budgets up to $6.5M. Today that includes founding and building an AI-powered creative platform, integrating AI into brand and marketing workflows, and using it as a practical tool for faster, smarter creative production at scale.
